Yesterday was at a saltwater beach and got a signal with a reading of 19. Signal was strong, visual readout steady on 19. Up came a 21k god ring with a thin band...weighed in at 1.69 gm, but the amount of gold is less than that because it has an emerald stone with 2 small diamonds....sorry, no pic. It pays to dig those lower numbers. Simplex also found (7 weeks ago) a small 375 gold earring...visual readout of 17.

I have tried digging Low 20 'S numbers but all i get is foil. The pinpoint signal seems to give a much wider signal though on foil. I am 100% inland detecting...No gold or silver for me with Simplex Yet...

Great find,,,,, good reviews on this machine mine is on the way my only concern is static from the pinpointer,,,,,CEDAR
Working at the beach allows for easy digging to identify targets, so, for me, digging the low numbers is not a problem and sometimes well worth it. If I was detecting on hard ground I may not check them all. The signal for the ring was very firm and tight, but that can happen with a small wad of foil too. If the going is not too tough it's well worth checking the lower than 5c numbers and the pull tab numbers. Most who have used detectors without visual readout will pay attention to the audio signal as well as watching the meter. In the end, your best identifiers are your eyes. Thanks all, for the replies and good luck whichever detector you use.
Just a note on the Simplex and the pinpointer....it registered with me pretty quickly that the Simplex is ultra sensitive to my pinpointer, so I have started turning the detector to one side so that it is pointing away from me and the target (instead of lying it alongside the hole). It does not stop the chatter, but it makes it bearable.
